Unknown to the Western world until its first publication in 1954, this book reveals the Mahayana, the yogic method of attaining Enlightenment. The edition also includes an essay by Carl Jung on the differences between Eastern and Western modes of thought, and equates the 'collective unconscious' with the Buddhist Enlightened Mind.
